The Desired Result

Lorelai could no longer hold back. 

All the pain and frustration that had been welling up inside her finally broke free and crushed through her like dozens of relentless waterfalls, emptying both her mind and heart. 

She told Marianna everything.

How she first met King Rhaegar and spent a night with him. How after that, he started pursuing her for a reason completely unknown to her. How she felt so lost and tangled every time she looked at him, and most importantly, how she had absolutely no idea why she could not resist his temptations. 

She ended her confession by telling her aide about the previous knight which made Marianna gasp in shock. 

"Your Highness!" She almost screamed, "That mark... He marked you! Now every other beast will know!"

"What?" Lorelai's eyes rounded in fear. "What do you mean he marked me?"
